Dear colleague,
Academic Room is an online initiative that was conceived at Harvard
University as an independent initiative to facilitate multidisciplinary
engagements among scholars and researchers around the world. Our mission is
to democratize access to scholarly resources, which are organized in over
10,000 academic sub-disciplines. We share the conviction that easy and
unimpeded access to quality educational resources should be a right and not
a privilege. Our platform allows academics, researchers and students to
create highly specialized portals for their subfields. These portals can be
enriched with professional directories, scholar profiles, video lectures,
bibliographies, journal articles, books, reviews, images, ancient
manuscripts and audio recordings.
You are invited to participate in our pilot launch. Please register and also
encourage students, teachers and researchers within your institution to
join. Together, we can make a real difference.
Best wishes,
Academic Room Editors
Academic Room, 184 Green Street, Suite 1, Cambridge, MA 02139
